Chapter 2496 - 1990: Double Harvest!

First update, begging for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

"What did you say?"

Chu Feiyun was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly turned extremely ugly, almost glaring at Qing Xu Lao Dao word by word as he angrily questioned him... Clearly, he was also about to lose control, provoked by Qing Xu Lao Dao's words.

"I said with these two conditions combined... it might be about right!"

Qing Xu Lao Dao is an old hooligan, something all the peers among the Paramount Experts know... However, this old bullnose has generally become more reserved after becoming the Sect Leader, not showing it so blatantly!

But this time, this old bullnose was obviously angered by Chu Feiyun, and the temper of the old hooligan flared up...

Qin Fang defeated Li Wuhua and won first place in this Five Factions Competition... He could completely ignore Li Wuhua's life and death, after all, they were just opponents, even strictly speaking, not even friends!

But Qin Fang did not do that, he paid the price of a Nirvana Pill to save Li Wuhua's life, not to mention saving his future, and it can also be said that he saved the future of Tianwai Tower... In any case, whether to Li Wuhua or Tianwai Tower, Qin Fang is a benefactor of immense gratitude.

Such immense gratitude is enough to exchange for any condition Chu Feiyun proposed... Li Wuhua's value to Tianwai Tower is far more than just three treasures or three months of cultivation in the Tianlan Secret Realm.

If it's just gratitude, then these conditions are naturally agreeable, Qing Xu Lao Dao would also agree with both hands... After all, though the Nirvana Pill is precious, its scope of use is somewhat narrow, not as appealing as the Azure Dragon Pill of the same level.

However, Chu Feiyun, this fool, did something very foolish, thoroughly provoking Qing Xu Lao Dao's nerves... That other side attacked Qin Fang viciously, injuring him so badly.

As Qin Fang's master, although Qing Xu Lao Dao has not imparted any ultimate techniques to Qin Fang, he has long treated Qin Fang as his direct disciple... And now that Qin Fang has made a great contribution to Kunlun, he is even more determined to protect him at all costs.

Qing Xu Lao Dao, even before understanding the truth of the matter, had already clearly decided to protect Qin Fang... Even if Qin Fang truly intended to kill Li Wuhua just now, he would not let go, even if it means offending Emperor Chu Kuangren.

Although Kunlun Sect is not what it once was, having declined quite a bit, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse, it still has its pride...

Yet things didn't come to that point, Qin Fang not only didn't want to kill but also spent a significant price to save someone, and things took another direction... With such conditions raised again, Qing Xu Lao Dao would not agree.

If Tianwai Tower insists, he would rather have Qin Fang give up those conditions, and let Tianwai Tower's reputation be tainted and shamed far and wide...

Chu Feiyun becoming the Sect Master of Tianwai Tower, besides his strong abilities, is also due to his slick handling and quite shrewd calculations, and to deal with such a person, it requires someone like Qing Xu Lao Dao, this old hooligan, to intervene...

"Old bullnose, don't push it too far..."

Chu Feiyun was exasperated by Qing Xu Lao Dao, this old hooligan... Wishing he could split Qing Xu Lao Dao's old face into seven or eight pieces and throw it to the dogs.

But now, being on the wrong side, he could only suppress his inner rage and roar angrily.

"Push it too far? Do you have the right to say that?"

Qing Xu Lao Dao coldly sneered in rebuttal, leaving Chu Feiyun utterly speechless... Attacking Ding Chen, this younger one, with toxic hands, was already exceedingly excessive behavior as it was, with him definitely bearing the infamy of the strong bullying the weak.

"I just laid out the conditions here, if you agree that would be best, if not... then assume I said nothing! Once Qin Fang returns from the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, I will naturally take him back to Kunlun..."

An old hooligan is just an old hooligan, once you completely disregard your own face, that's truly invincible... With one sentence, Chu Feiyun, this fatty, was cornered!

"Combining these two conditions, it's absolutely impossible..."

Bickering with Qing Xu Lao Dao, this old hooligan, Chu Feiyun utterly lost, but this condition couldn't be agreed to, the cost is indeed too high, even he, as the Sect Master, wouldn't dare to agree rashly.

After a moment of silence, he had no choice but to compromise, "How about this, let's each take a step back, you can choose two treasures from the treasury, along with one month's cultivation in the Tianlan Secret Realm... or one treasure from the treasury, plus two months' cultivation in the Tianlan Secret Realm, you can choose either one!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Chu Fatty, it's said you're skilled in calculations, but I didn't expect you to be this shrewd... How about you calculate for me, where exactly is your concession?"

This time, Qing Xu Lao Dao seemed also provoked by Chu Feiyun into an outburst, sarcastically sneering with a strange tone, with his expression and eyes fully matching, "Honestly, if you were really negotiating with me in good faith, then everything indeed could be discussed, but you... push it too far!"

"Hmph, I've placed the conditions there... still the same sentence, agreeing is best, if not, we won't take anything!"

Qing Xu Lao Dao was thoroughly angry, and completely gave up the thought of continuing negotiations with Chu Feiyun, simply squatting by the side, closing his eyes, concentrating on protecting the heavily injured Qin Fang, guarding against someone "desperate like a cornered dog".

Chu Feiyun was truly at his wit's end, his expression changing unpredictably.

In reality, he felt genuinely aggrieved...

On the surface, it seems like his conditions haven't changed, but in reality, he has already made many concessions...

The number of treasures in the treasury aside, the main dispute is about the time spent in the Tianlan Secret Realm... The key issue is that opening the Tianlan Secret Realm requires a considerable amount of Spirit Crystals, while maintaining the realm passage afterward costs much less.

In other words, practicing for one month, two months, or three months... the amount of Spirit Crystals spent by Tianwai Tower is about the same.

The reason for such a restriction is entirely to prevent Qin Fang from spending too much time there and obtaining too many treasures... those are left by the Tianwai Tower ancestors for their future disciples, so how can they let Qin Fang, an outsider disciple, take too much?

This is why Qin Fang's practice time in the Tianlan Secret Realm is being limited...

Overall, Tianwai Tower indeed pays a significant price, and Chu Feiyun feels quite aggrieved.

The problem is, he and Qing Xu Lao Dao stand from different angles, naturally yielding different results...

Qing Xu Lao Dao fell silent, Chu Feiyun also fell silent, while Qin Fang and Li Wuhua were in the midst of healing, seemingly unconcerned with the outside world...

"Alright, I promise you..."

After a long silence, Chu Feiyun seemed indecisive until his ears suddenly perked up, as if he heard something. Only then did he sigh lightly and finally agree to Qing Xu Lao Dao's conditions.

"Hmm, finally acting sensibly..."

With Chu Feiyun's agreement, Qing Xu Lao Dao naturally stopped dwelling on it and simply huffed, his tone much more subdued than before.

Piling two good conditions of such kind certainly couldn't come close to acquiring a long-lost Nirvana Pill, but the cost was enough to compensate for Qin Fang's loss... With a favorable tone, they might even gain significantly.

Having agreed on the conditions, no document or paperwork needed preparation, as Martial World folks value a gentleman's straightforward promise—a flick of the rein by the swiftest steed, a spit nail—there's no reneging.

If someone did go back on their word, news would spread, and the drool of Martial World people could drown him... Who, given these circumstances, would break a promise for personal gain?

"Bring it!"

With the conditions settled, Qing Xu Lao Dao also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reached out to Chu Feiyun with a shout.

"What?"

Chu Feiyun froze for a moment, quite puzzled and asked.

"The Dragon Blood Elixir... What, are you planning to renege?"

Qing Xu Lao Dao immediately retorted displeasedly; prior to this, his conditions weren't fulfilled, so he naturally wouldn't take that bottle of Dragon Blood Elixir. But now with the conditions agreed, he certainly wouldn't be so polite!

"Here you go..."

Chu Feiyun, having witnessed the prowess of this old hooligan, did not engage in futile disputes and quickly tossed the Dragon Blood Elixir to Qing Xu Lao Dao, who then immediately fed a pill to Qin Fang.

The Dragon Blood Elixir truly deserved its reputation as a Healing Sacred Medicine, a more ferocious Spirit Pill than the Shaolin Great Restoration Pill, with tremendously potent effects... Regarding Life Points, he already replenished them to full using the Blood Replenishing Pill, but the internal injuries needed the Dragon Blood Elixir to heal.

If relying solely on Qin Fang himself, even with the assistance of the Blood Replenishing Pill, it would take at least two to three days for full recovery... Now with the Dragon Blood Elixir, in terms of efficacy and time, there's a better choice.

Having taken the Dragon Blood Elixir, Qin Fang awoke after just a significant moment...

"Qin Fang, are you feeling better?"

Qing Xu Lao Dao immediately asked with concern.

"Master, I'm fine now, thank you..."

Qin Fang shook his head lightly, speaking indifferently, understanding his own situation best... The powerful effects of the Dragon Blood Elixir had restored Qin Fang's internal injuries to a fairly decent degree, and his prowess remained largely unaffected.

"How is he?"

But Qin Fang was somewhat concerned, asking about him... naturally referring to Li Wuhua.

"The boy Li took the Nirvana Pill; his injuries not only suppressed but is also undergoing the process of rebirth... With destruction comes reconstruction, leading to cultivation reaching a level I can hardly predict..."

Qing Xu Lao Dao glanced at Li Wuhua then reflected with a touch of feeling. Looking toward Qin Fang, his eyes conveyed "You're too extravagant..." But Qin Fang simply shook his head, not caring at all! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
